Calabash Circle

This enrichment program for youth ages 3-14 brings Black keiki together to learn from knowledgeable elders, cultural practitioners, and professionals from our community. Thinking of the ʻumeke of Hawaiʻi and the calabash gourds of the African diaspora, we invite children and their families into the circle to learn and share as they make connections across the community.
